Remember this story:
Cancer patients told life-prolonging treatment is too expensive for NHS
Sutent works by stopping the signals in the body that tell cancer cells to grow and multiply. The drug also stops blood vessels growing into the tumour.
The manufacturer, Pfizer, applied for the drug to be approved for use in patients who failed to respond to interferon-alpha.
But the SMC ruled that “the economic case has not been demonstrated”.
The drug costs around £2,000 a month, compared to £700-800 for interferon.
Pat Hanlon, from Kidney Cancer UK, said:
“We know the NHS has limited resources, but for patients with kidney cancer there are not many other treatments they can try.
“When they stop responding to interferon, there is nothing else for them.”
No?
How about this one:
Lung patients ‘condemned to death as NHS withdraws their too expensive drugs’
Hundreds of patients with a rare lung disease will be sentenced to death by plans to stop doctors prescribing a range of drugs on the NHS, it was claimed last night.
Campaigners have condemned proposals by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to withdraw the drugs because they are too expensive.
Drawing a blank? Did you know this?
It is expected to show that Britain is falling behind in key areas of cancer treatment, but performing better in treating heart disease and other illnesses.
Campaigners blame the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), which has denied patients access to a number of life-extending cancer medicines on the grounds of cost.
The NHS rationing body has blocked a quarter of the cancer drugs made available since 2008 and restricted others, despite Government promises for more treatments.
These stories show how Great Britain’s National Health Service have denied care to people who are dying because of cost.
It simply cost too much money to treat them.
Now, consider the Great Britain’s Department of Health program “Putting People First.” While the NHS is denying people like Nikki Phelps cancer drugs, Putting People First is paying for mentally disabled Brits to fly to Amsterdam to get a little. Oh, and they are paying for the hooker too:
Show a 21 year old man who doesn’t have a need for sex and I’ll show you a crack head without a need for a lighter.
More logic from the liberal social worker. You’re not gonna believe this:
‘The girls in Amsterdam are far more protected than those on UK streets. Let him have some fun – I’d want to.
‘Wouldn’t you prefer that we can control this, guide him, educate him, support him to understand the process and ultimately end up satisfying his needs in a secure, licensed place where his happiness and growth as a person is the most important thing?
‘Refusing to offer him this service would be a violation of his human rights.’
That’s right, folks. Denying this man taxpayer money to fly to Amsterdam and get a hooker is a violation of his human rights.
You know what’s next…

Critics of the program said it was “deeply worrying.”
Understatement of the century.
